Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Guys, from Gonzo's recommendation, i got these simple showerheads. i am a noob so my opinion is relative but i think for simple bubblers they are really cool, and easy to clean

the bigger one is a cb47 (usd113), the smaller one cb49 (usd50). i got it from outside USA though so shipping is a killer! if anyone is interested, the company is www.boroworx.com

Done!!!! Broke my 2nd ash catcher in 2 weeks. The shower head in the mouthpiece joint. The inline on the ground joint. Very bad luck!!! But sun is shining, weather is sweet. Going bubbler hunting. Later!!!

^^^^^ Same one as SmokinJ's place and video, but I got it from the Third Eye, IMO for less than $150
it was a really good deal. Still testing it and will review later. Editing and uploading to youtube takes longer than expected. Sorry. Shiny smooth glassy heavy to handle feel on it :) I like to call it
"La Cloaca con Pedos Lluviosos" (A Sharded Sewer Farter) because of the noise when bubbling, the fart/noise/bubbling in glass part comes from the dome top can and 4holed triple honeycomb discs. The sewer noise comes from the water coming down through those discs again :)
Depending on your draw speed you can get a high end purr, like a geyser, or slow bubble/soft airy straight chuggle,reminds me slow boiling chocolate. The person at the Third Eye was really patience and kind. He let me water test several pieces before testing the S.M bubbler. Finally knowing my budget and knowing what I wanted, I compared water tests. IMO for the money and quality/performance is very high end. I tested a fritted, some double shower heads and so on, and this one I got is up to their standards, maybe not geometrically/symetricaly perfect but that what make it unique.
Height, 14" top of flared mouthpiece, was kind of an issue at the beginning but now is ok. I'd prefer a sidecar mouthpiece, I like to see bubbles action. I use my Solo on it, through a Y 14mm adapter. When in use alone, a glass 14mm stopper play as a carb. Not need to remove the Solo :) , 2xSolos just carb removing one instead of the Y. More videos to come. I posted some stem mods at the Solo forum.

On face book Third Eye Shop or Shoppe , something like this. Many NW retailers carry them, I think Scott Moan lives in Bend, OR.

Love the perc action on that piece. Glad you posted that. Had been looking at several of those pieces (for when I hit the lottery or some unknown rich uncle dies)... but glad to see they get that kind of quality bubblage, for the prices you can get them at.

I'm going to buy a bubbler soon, but I'm not sure which one I should buy. Never had a bubbler before and smoked my last bong over 10 years ago.

Which one of these 2 will filter the vapor better and add more humidity (create more bubbles I suppose)? And which one will have less drag? 8 arm perc or 12 slit inline? I'm a joint smoker, so I prefer little drag. I don't want it to feel like I suck on a bong.

The octo looks like it would be more purification. Evenly distributed arms. I think the drag is less than the inline too.
I wanna octo now. Hmm who has them in the U.S.

I bought Black Leaf stuff before from Grasscity. Many ashcatchers, a 7 slit inline, a 12 slit shower head and an 2slitsx 8 arm tree ashcatcher, all used with a J hook. They worked great. But you need to be really careful. They tend to have little imperfections and be a little fragile. Do not get me wrong, I love them. For the money they make a big deal. IMO the inline bubbler, after testing several times a day :) performed better. I tend to draw strong, and sometimes I got splash back from the 8 arm tree. The slits on the arm tree tend to be a little high, so water level needs to be above them, at least in my Black Leaf arm tree. On the other hand, the drag is a little bit chuggier than the inline.
IMO the inline, mine with 7 slits, worked awesome. But I kicked and broke it, was standing in a tile floor :(
The inline was sitting so low in the can that is impossible you get splash back.
On the other hand, the drag is more of a purr kind of. Very soft and likely, almost not there. Good luck and enjoy Bubbler hunting. I posted some videos of my new mods and bubbler, check it out.
BTW, the slits on that inline bubbler are facing down, so my guess is that you'll never get splash back there.
I like to see bubble action, so my preference would be the lean back inline bubbler mouthpiece, more comfy to bubble sitting in couch, laying in bed and so on, meanwhile watch your bubbles at the same time. Enjoy.

anyone has any idea where i could get a glass 'j hook' in Europe? I was actually thinking of making a small bubbler myself with these blackleaf showerhead ones..they even have a recessed joint. But I cannot seem to find a glass mouthpiece for it...

Thanks for the infos. I think I will buy the inline bubbler, because it probably fits my consuming preference better (softer drag, usually on a sofa or easy chair).

But you need to be really careful. They tend to have little imperfections and be a little fragile. Do not get me wrong, I love them.

Yea, I already expected something like that when reading the comments of people about Black Leaf and China glass. It's just the chinese way of making money. Offer stuff very cheap at lower quality, and often also make sure it breaks sooner or later, so the customer comes back and buys their latest product.

Anyway, for that price it's ok. It's more for testing anyway. I hope this helps me to enjoy vaping a little more. Because my airways react quite sensitive to vapor... I suppose it would be easier for my body if the vapor was more humid and well filtered.

Any idea if hot water will kill the bubbler? Because that's what I use right now to make the vapor in my shitty acryl waterfilter more humid.

I like to run really hot tap water into my water tools for like 1/2 minute before using them.Fast, after that hot rinse add filtered water to your glass, would be luke warm. IMO chlorine vapor from tap water affects my vapor taste.
BTW good choice for the inline, enjoy it.
Stay vaped :)

hmm, just checked all 26 pages of accesoires without finding any j-hook...am I looking in the wrong place? thx for the help and sorry if this goes off topic a bit, but does seem like a legit question to be able to get a cheap bubbler...

Hiya G. :wave:

Do you guys sell those too? Because I believe their shipping to EU for small items is crazy expensive. If anyone in Europe is ordering one contact me first please. I've been wanting to order one of their Wikka boxes for ages so perhaps we can share the shipping costs :)
